Welcome Standard Time – the time of year I usually get more sewing done in the early evening dark hours.
I have been wanting to do a wintery mountain wall quilt. Batiks were the way to go and fortunately I had a variety in blues for the background.
The strips were cut into two inch strips and I began piecing, adding the “mountains” on three of the upper strips. After researching several pines, I printed one out and began to cut. And cut. And cut. And – you get the idea! The scissors were replaced with an Exacto knife with a brand new blade, but it was quickly apparent that the scissors worked better.
I quilted the background first then ironed on the tree, adding free motion quilting. Instead of the usual binding, I mounted the quilt to an 18″ x 24″ canvas. I’ve never done that before and now know I will definitely do more mounted on canvas!
I only wish I’d taken more pics before bringing this piece up for my little quilt show in Blowing Rock. I’ll post more at a later time.
Now I want to do pines, mountains and bears – oh my!

You must tell us how you mounted that on canvas, please!!!??? It’s beautiful!
Will do in a future post when I mount another.
Thanks!
Joyce, that is fabulous! Colors, design, quilting…just wonderful!
This was a small project that was so fun – thank you!
Joyce this is beautiful. It reminds me of my view last week when we had our first snowfall.
Yikes- first snowfall! We might get one in February 😂
We had our first a couple of weeks ago. It’s all melted now and there were scads of golfers out today taking advantage of a sunny day 😉
Beautiful!
Thank you!
WOWEE! This is gorgeous. I am not in any hurry to be in that winter scene but when it’s here it would be nice to look that fabulous. Peaceful and serene – what a talent you have and used in this creation. ~smile~ Roseanne
I’m with you! Although here in N.C. we might get one small snowfall. Thank you for your encouragement.
I love this. Its a great project and it will be fun to see more about it soon.
Beautiful! I hadn’t ever considered mounting a quilt on canvas before.
Thank you! Will definitely do again.
Stunning quilt finish!! I’ve only framed one quilt, but I also plan to do it again (with the right piece.) That piece hasn’t come along yet.
Beautiful and inspiring!
This has become one of my favorites. Thank you!
